Some parents would not fund a questionable youth unless amends/restitution were made...just off the top of my head.Two of them have black shirts on but no logos associated with the school. I think it's a bit of a reach for the school to get involved. The public has done a better job educating them on this issue with the exception of the personal information part. |

Leave the school, police, and rangers out of it. The climbing community can govern itself ;) |

We have no reason to believe she's sharpied anything, correct? Can we leave her out of it, and stick to the topic at hand - these guys are vandals, isn't that enough without trying to attack them by attacking the character of a girl they happen to be standing near? |

Are college kids really dumb enough that they didn't know that writing on rock in permanent marker wasn't going to come off? |

I made this image after a couple hours of trash cleanup in a local park. It was my bio photo for my SCA trail crew in 2012. Animals |

Hey remember when CU students wrote something on the Third Flatiron? |

This seems like as good a place as any to ask about Ernest Greenman. I understand he was a surveyor who climbed in Boulder in the early 20th century. Does anyone know why and how the plaque was placed up there in 1998? What's the full story behind it and the Greenman trail? Is Green Mountain (where the trail ends) also named after him, or is it just the trail? Vandalizing the Flatirons in this day and age is clearly unacceptable. I'd imagine that everyone who has been named and shamed feels some sense of shame by now. All the same, remember that these people are just 19. While Boulder is a lot more crowded today then it once was, other people have made these selfish choices before, and the damage will probably be cleaned up within a few days, or fade within a few years. |

Plus, a black eye, even if you just got beat down, makes you look like a bad ass. A sentiment that I think no one would grant to these jokers. Give them all black eyes and they might actually look hardened. |

The first edition of, "Climb!" (late 70's) goes into some history of who Greenman is. Here's a newer edition, |

So I removed that part of the comment. Feel free to edit it out of yours if you would like. |

Second Flatiron vandals must have been true to what he said. I scrambled up top today and unless I'm blind, it has been removed. |
